by John Elder Robison
Comments
I laughed and cried as I read this book. You will appreciate the unique talents and quirks of each of your students after reading John Elder Robison’s story. This book should be required reading for every educator.

Don't Bother Me Mom--I'm Learning!
by Marc Prensky
Comments
This is a very interesting book that really hit home with some of my students. After I shared Marc Prensky’s ideas with some of my students, they did a presentation for the Superintendent campaigning to be selected as a pilot school to test some of Prensky’s learning theories. I would have liked to see more data to support his ideas. The book was an easy read and very thought provoking.

These books have had a profound influence on my teaching this year. I highly recommend all of them.
